The People's Revolution of the Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May is depicted in {{NW}}. It ended the increasingly tough reign of [[Lord Winder]]. Tension had been rising, and while the nobility arranged a quiet succession by [[Mad Lord Snapcase\|Lord Snapcase]] in the background, the people on the streets started a revolution and attacked Watch Houses all over the city.

	A few streets around Treacle Mine Road were barricaded at first. Soon more people started barricading streets, barricades were moved forward and merged together, covering at least a quarter of the city - including the food industry. The resulting area was called The [[People's Republic of Treacle Mine Road]]. The watchmen of the Treacle Mine Road Watch House led the Republic together with some enthusiastic angry young men, among them the then-living [[Reg Shoe]].

	Although the Republic originally was invaded succesfully, the change of history recorded in ''[[Book:Night Watch\|Night Watch]]'' resulted in [[Sam Vimes]] under the name of [[John Keel]] saving the Republic until Lord Snapcase had become Patrician. But because history finds a way, those who died in the original revolution still died, in an attack planned by [[Carcer]] prompted by Snapcase's concerns about what "Keel" could get up to if left alone for a month after serving as such a prominent leader after less than a week in the city.
